Evaluating Liability in Your Personal Injury Case
When you’re hurt in a serious accident, you need to know who’s at fault for your injuries and who has financial liability. You may know who caused your injuries, for example, but they may not be the ones legally responsible for seeing you compensated for the ensuing losses.
For example, you may have been injured because an employee at a department store didn’t warn you about a wet floor, leading to a slip-and-fall premises liability accident. Technically, they caused the accident, but their employer or the property owner are the ones liable for the damage and the costs of your injuries.
Fault can get complicated, and you may need guidance to identify the liable party in your accident claim. One of your attorney’s jobs is to investigate the accident to firmly determine what caused it, and then work to identify who is liable for causing the accident and what form their negligence took.
Personal Injury Lawsuits After a Criminal Case
In some cases, you may have been injured by someone in the middle of committing a crime. They may have even already been convicted of the crime, but what does that mean for your injuries? A criminal conviction is intended to bring justice and deter future criminal acts, but it’s not meant to compensate the victims of accidents and injuries.
Victims must wait until the criminal trial has concluded to file a civil personal injury lawsuit. However, your personal injury lawyers can use evidence from the criminal trial for your civil lawsuit. Even if the at-fault party is not convicted of a crime, they can still be held accountable in civil court, which means a chance at financial compensation for you.
Compensation for Miami Personal Injury Victims
A severe personal injury comes with costs. These costs are often financial, but they can also be intangible in nature, too. Damages are the financial compensation you receive to pay for these costs. Whether you were hurt in a car accident or need help with premises liability cases, your attorney will seek compensation from all responsible parties that reflects the entirety of your losses. This is true whether you need to sue the state or federal government or multiple insurance companies.
There are two main types of compensatory damages:
- Economic Damages: Economic damages will impact your life immediately. Your injuries may require long-term medical care, which can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars. You may also be unable to work while you heal from your personal injury, which means lost income, wages, and money. If your property was damaged during the accident, that firmly falls under economic damages, too.
- Non-Economic Damages: Your damages should also cover your emotional and mental suffering from the accident. These damages are intangible, but they can affect your quality of life as much, if not more, than physical injuries. For example, if you broke a bone, you may suffer from intense pain that makes it hard to focus on daily tasks. Your personal injury lawyers have the legal team and the tools to calculate the monetary value of these accident losses and help get you the result you require.
In addition to compensatory damages, some personal injury cases call for punitive damages, as well. Also known as “exemplary” damages, punitive damages are meant to punish the defendant rather than compensate the plaintiff for specific losses. While punitive damages are less commonly awarded than compensatory damages, the court may choose to award punitive damages if it determines that the defendant acted with gross or egregious negligence, willful or wanton misconduct, or intent to inflict injury or harm.

Miami Personal Injury FAQ
-
Yes, it is often substantially more challenging to prove negligence in medical malpractice than in something like a car or motorcycle accident. Your injury lawyers will likely need to call on medical experts as expert witnesses and thoroughly demonstrate how the medical care you received was not in line with the care that would have been prescribed by a reasonable medical practitioner.
-
Your child’s health and safety are the top priority for your family, but someone else hurt them. Now, you’re concerned about their financial and physical recovery, not to mention the medical bills that will follow. Your loved one can’t sue on their own until they’re 18. Although the statute of limitations for personal injury claims doesn’t begin until that point, you do have a chance to act now on your child’s behalf. Talk to our experienced personal injury legal consultants about acting as a guardian in the courtroom to seek your child’s compensation when it’s rightly needed.
-
When you’re hurt, your whole life is affected by the aftermath of the accident. Your work life and your home life are in turmoil, and your health is on the line, too. Balancing a legal claim and your recovery isn’t easy. Especially when the at-fault party and their insurance company are trying to pin some of the blame on you, which is common. If you’ve never filed an accident or personal injury claim before, you won’t know what to expect or how to avoid common roadblocks. A personal injury lawyer has years of legal experience. They can walk you through each step and represent you in court if necessary.
-
Your window of time to file a personal injury lawsuit in Miami is limited. You’ll need to protect your legal rights and file your claim within four years of the accident or injury diagnosis.
